AI Summary

This bill requires the Secretaries of Defense and Homeland Security, in consultation with the States, to develop recommendations to improve and fully implement the Military Interstate Children's Compact. The Compact addresses barriers faced by military-connected children when transferring between schools, such as enrolling in a new school in advance without being physically present and accessing special education services in a timely manner. The bill directs the Secretaries to consider tracking advanced enrollment usage, clarifying eligibility requirements, and developing guidance for schools on the Compact's protections. The Secretaries must submit a report with these recommendations to Congress and the States within 180 days.
